MySQL Enterprise module

This is a module for different types of MySQL logs. Currently focusing on data from the MySQL Enterprise Audit Plugin in JSON format.

To configure the the Enterprise Audit Plugin to output in JSON format please follow the directions in the MySQL Documentation.

This module has been tested against MySQL Enterprise 5.7.x and 8.0.x

You can further refine the behavior of the mysqlenterprise module by specifying variable settings in the modules.d/mysqlenterprise.yml file, or overriding settings at the command line.

You must enable at least one fileset in the module. Filesets are disabled by default.

Each fileset has separate variable settings for configuring the behavior of the module. If you don’t specify variable settings, the mysqlenterprise module uses the defaults.

For advanced use cases, you can also override input settings. See Override input settings.

Example config:

- module: mysqlenterprise
  audit:
    var.input: file
    var.paths: /home/user/mysqlauditlogs/audit.*.log

var.paths

An array of glob-based paths that specify where to look for the log files. All patterns supported by Go Glob are also supported here. For example, you can use wildcards to fetch all files from a predefined level of subdirectories: /path/to/log/*/*.log. This fetches all .log files from the subfolders of /path/to/log. It does not fetch log files from the /path/to/log folder itself. If this setting is left empty, Filebeat will choose log paths based on your operating system.

var.tags

A list of tags to include in events. Including forwarded indicates that the events did not originate on this host and causes host.name to not be added to events. Defaults to [mysqlenterprise-audit].

MySQL Enterprise Audit fields are mapped to ECS in the following way:

For a description of each field in the module, see the exported fields section.
